I would imagine the video is a few years old considering they don’t even make the E46 models anymore (that I’m aware of). All E90s now.

They’ve saved my pretty blue eyes a few times. 🙂

But this is Germany–they can probably sue people for breathing there.

yeah, it’s an old video…but they still make the e46 M3, though production may be stopping right around now since the new e92 ///M3 is realeased in september.

I was just hanging around the BMW website lately and its funny that they still producing the older style E46, the facelift style and now the E90 (I thought it was E90 and not E92?)

e90 = sedan  
e92 = coupe

the e46 being produced is techincally the “pre-facelifted” style.
